Lululemon Athletica Canada Inc. has 15 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 14 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner distribution with repeated placement among technical groups. The art-unit structure supports comparison of related prosecution issues even though most examiner relationships are separate.
NUNNERY, GRADY ALEXANDER is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That concentration is limited, so the portfolio does not center on one examiner. Counsel may coordinate technical positions across the shared art units while adapting arguments and amendments to individual examiner practices.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 4 (25%) |
| §103 only | 3 (19%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (44%) |
